Last night I teared up for the first time while doing spell work and praying to my Goddess. That has never happened to me with Wicca. Since embracing Wicca, I have kept my beliefs more down to earth. My move from conservative Christianity, with all of it’s idiosyncrasies, to liberal Christianity, that denies a lot of the spiritual and the miracles, led me to a more grounded faith. It was easy to [finally embrace Wicca](https://forum.spells8.com/t/how-research-led-me-to-eclectic-wicca/4368) after 25 years of playing at the edges.

I didn’t originally worship The Lord or The Lady. I saw them as representatives of The Divine. As I have grown over the last six months, I have totally dropped The Lord from my practice and I actually worship The Lady. I still see her as a representative of an indescribable Divine Being, but she is my deity that I work with and she’s as every bit real to me as a triune God was to me as a conservative Christian. How did I get here? I don’t know, but I don’t believe this is a bad thing.

I mentioned the failed open marriage in the original post but it’s no longer failed. I mentioned how Moon, my friend, had to save me a year ago. Little did I know I would need saved again. This time for real because we found the underlying causes being triggered by outward pressures. This has led to a [renewal of life](https://forum.spells8.com/t/thankful-for-renewed-life-in-2020/5694) that I never knew I needed.

🙏 🙏 🙏

There have been “miracles” this year that I cannot explain. I mentioned that above, but more happened since I started this thread. I need to share those someday either on here or in a video or somewhere. The cliff notes version of course.

[This year](https://forum.spells8.com/t/12-words-phrases-or-pictures-emojis-of-2020/5826) has been mostly positive for me. Not everyone can say the same thing. I feel blessed and I only want to share the blessing with others with this new life I have been given. The reason for this update is, while I lived my life this year and survived and overcame personal demons, I also explored Wicca in new ways and embraced a deity to the point that I am praying to her, honoring her on the altar, and thanking her for the year. _(All of this happened during the the season traditionally given to her - Summer Solstice to Winter Solstice.)_ This truly is a condensed story of praise to my Goddess.
